Rabbi Stern announced that the Jerusalem Mehadrin hechsher would use only non-Jewish and/or imported produce in restaurants and places of business certified by it, while the regular Rabbanut hechsher will use hetter mechira produce.
Rabbi Stern said the consumer using the Rabbanut Mehadrin services is largely the Haredi consumer, and this will allow the Haredi consumer to continue eating food under the Rabbanut Mehadrin supervision.
Basically, Rabbi Stern said he is not changing anything about the way the kashrut is working, in this regard.

nothing is changing, so this is not really all that interesting, but it is an important kashrut-related update...
